Radeon released RX 480. (Card is Released)

[Erkallys]

On the ethereum forum someone already has the 480. It hashes at 24MH/s using Claymore and uses 200watts from the wall.

well that is really bad, i don't know what is all the deal with this 480 when a 1070 is vastly better seriously

but it's ok less demand on the 1070 i guess

I didnt measure with power meter but i dont think its 200w - if its total system consumption still should be a bit less but depends on the system and power supply - is it with claymore single eth or with decred?

even at 140w is really bad versus a thing that can do 37MH with the same wattage, and they are not sold at $200 like many believe, they are already at $250 due to demand and probably more

btw did you tried the 1070 with the fix for windows 10?

The 1070 can do 37 MH/s ? Really ? For me the R9 470 is the best plan : ~22 MH/s for 100W. That's perfect.

the 1070 is better if you can put 6 in a system and have more than 200MH. The system overhead per hash is lower.

If she can deliver 37 MH/s I'll rather buy those, with the first in just one week. But what I'm afraid of is that I'll have to use Linux. I can't use my beloved Windows 7 ?

yes you can but we need to wait for genoil to fix it for win 7 for win 10 should be plug and play in 1 week

This magic was done by genoil ? I think I'll start to reconsider buying RX 470 and will maybe start to think about 1070.

[Genoil]

Win10 will be fine. Win7/8 may need some kernel work. Also thinking of a fix for 1080.

Btw I didn't do any magic. Pascal GP104 is very simar to GM200 so this is with the normal Kepler/Maxwell kernel. It just overclocks pretty good, which was done by a fellow countryman that goes by the name @kruisdraad.

Will the 1070 actually do 37 or is that just an estimate?

[Amph]

Will the 1070 actually do 37 or is that just an estimate?

that''s not the real question, because the answer is yes, it can do 37MH, the real question is, can this reach 37MH on windows too or just 30-32?

for now those 37 can only be reached on ubuntu 14.04 tls not even the desktop version

It appears all of these first GPU's are based on the reference card design with a single blower.  They are notorious for running hotter, louder, and not quite performing up to the same specs as the aftermarket cards with better coolers and fans etc. 

We should start to see aftermarket cards appear in the next month, but the wait to get your hands on them could be longer than that based on the demand.  So until we see some actual mining numbers on these cards and how hot they run you may want to hold off.  My experience with reference cards has taught me not to make that mistake again unless I can validate and verify that the card is good.  YMMV

Agreed the reference design sucks big time... Both brands I don't get the blower thing...

It seems newegg sold all of their  $199 cards out.

Very disappointing.

I bought 2 x sapphire 480 - 8 gb and 2 x powercolor 480 - 8gb

It depends on the power consumption. If that is 24 MH or 90 to 100 W, then it is quite good. If it is 120W, not so.

Looks like at stock clock speeds that screen shows 86c.  I didn't see any temps listed at the overclock speeds.

8gb model males 24.7 mh by default. The card draws 108 from GPU-z but may be 150 from PSU due to efficiency ratings.

The software only allows you to overlock to 9GHZ memory from 8 default. With this overclock it can reach 28 with just a 7-9 watt increase at the wall. so 7-8 watts for an extra 4 mh is pretty good.

Default fans are optimized for silence which means running hot with the poor reference cooler. 80% fan speed keeps it at 70c.


Not in the link. I would suggest installing CPU coolers onto te card if you are using a PCIe extender to run it outside the case. Not the solution for me since I want a regular video card upgrade for my own computer so I will be waiting for more improved versions.

It depends if you are talking about GPUz or actual power after you consider what is wasted by the PSU, See above. It is 108 from GPUz at stock. 150 estimated after PSU waste, while overclocking was only 8 more watts at the wall for 4 extra MH/s. And 2 watts for 1 MH/s is really good.

Looks like my suspicions were confirmed.  Another reference card that is going to run HOT, and/or LOUD.  I will wait to see what the aftermarket RX480 cards do before making the next move.

Ruined my excitement to get something new and fresh for once

It seems like the 470 and 460 are going to be made VR ready also and the 1070 will offer 8GB as well. I may go for the 470 for my own computer and if I like the over night profits I may get another to stick into my old computer for dedicated mining, or possibly 2x 460's since those are 4GB as well and possibly just 75 watts.

If some 480's with better cooling come soon, I may still get it. But if the 470 surfaces sooner I may just get that now.

"So taking into account the power conversion efficiency of an 80 Plus Gold PSU that was used the actual power usage of the card is apparently 150W at the default settings. This is further confirmed by the fact that while mining Ethereum with the default settings the GPU frequency hovers up to about 1240 MHz and does not go all the way up to 1266 MHz. Essentially hitting the power limit of 150W that the card has"

I wish they would have tried -100 mv on the card to see what it did to hash rate or lowered the TDP to 90%.

I have 4 coming and will be testing them in a few days.
